1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit on the soul of David; and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Y después que él hubo acabado de hablar con Saul, el alma de Jonatán fue ligada con la de David, y amóle Jonatán como a su alma.
2 And Saul took him on that day, and would not permit him to go home to his father's house.
Y Saul le tomó aquel día, y no le dejó volver a casa de su padre.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because of his loving him as his own soul.
E hicieron alianza Jonatán y David, porque él le amaba como a su alma.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he had upon him, and gave it to David, and likewise his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Y Jonatán se desnudó la ropa que tenía sobre sí, y dióla a David, y otras ropas suyas, hasta su espada y su arco, con su talabarte.
5 And David went out; whithersoever Saul used to send him, he was successful; and Saul set him over the men of war; and he was accepted in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
Y salía David, donde quiera que Saul le enviaba, y conducíase prudentemente. Y Saul le hizo capitán de gente de guerra, y era acepto en los ojos de todo el pueblo, y en los ojos de los criados de Saul.
6 And it came to pass as they came home, when David returned from smiting the Philistines, that the women came forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with triangles.
Y aconteció que como ellos volvieron, y David volvió de matar al Filisteo, salieron las mujeres de todas las ciudades de Israel cantando, y con danzas, con adufes, y con alegrías y panderos a recibir al rey Saul.
7 And the women that played answered one another, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Y cantaban las mujeres que danzaban y decían: Saul hirió sus miles, y David sus diez miles.
8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying was displeasing in his eyes; and he said, They have given unto David ten thousands, and to me they have given the thousands: and all that he lacketh now yet is only the kingdom.
Y enojóse Saul en gran manera, y desagradó esta palabra en sus ojos, y dijo: A David dieron diez miles y a mí miles: no le queda más que el reino.
9 And Saul looked jealous on David from that day and forward.
Y desde aquel día Saul miró de través a David.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came suddenly over Saul, and he spoke foolish things in the midst of the house: while David was playing with his hand, as on previous days; and the spear was in the hand of Saul.
Otro día aconteció que el espíritu malo de Dios tomó a Saul, y profetizaba dentro de su casa; y David tañía con su mano como los otros días; y estaba una lanza a mano de Saul.
11 And Saul cast the spear; and he thought, I will strike David through even on the wall. And David turned aside out of his presence twice.
Y arrojó Saul la lanza, diciendo: Enclavaré a David con la pared; y dos veces se apartó de él David.
12 And Saul was afraid of David; because the Lord was with him, and from Saul he was departed.
Mas Saul se temía de David, por cuanto Jehová era con él, y se había apartado de Saul.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from himself, and made him his captain over a thousand: and he went out and came in before the people.
Y Saul le apartó de sí, e hízole capitán de mil, y salía y entraba delante del pueblo.
14 And David was successful on all his ways; and the Lord was with him.
Y David se conducía prudentemente en todos sus negocios, y Jehová era con él.
15 And when Saul saw that he was very successful, he was in dread of him.
Y viendo Saul que se conducía tan prudentemente, temíase de él.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; because he went out and came in before them.
Mas todo Israel y Judá amaba a David, porque él salía y entraba delante de ellos.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold, here is my eldest daughter Merab, her will I give to thee for wife: only be thou unto me a man of valor, and fight the Lord's battles. And Saul thought, Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.
Y dijo Saul a David: He aquí, yo te daré a Merob mi hija mayor por mujer: solamente porque me seas valiente hombre, y hagas las guerras de Jehová. Mas Saul decía en sí: No será mi mano contra él, mas la mano de los Filisteos será contra él.
18 And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be a son-in-law to the king?
Y David respondió a Saul: ¿Quién soy yo, o qué es mi vida, o la familia de mi padre en Israel, para ser yerno del rey?
19 But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto 'Adriel the Mecholathite for wife.
Y venido el tiempo en que Merob, hija de Saul, se había de dar a David, fue dada por mujer a Adriel Meholatita.
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told it to Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
Mas Micol la otra hija de Saul amaba a David; y fue dicho a Saul, lo cual plugo en sus ojos.
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may become unto him a snare, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Through the second shalt thou this day become my son-in-law.
Y Saul dijo en sí: Yo se la daré, para que le sea por lazo: y para que la mano de los Filisteos sea contra él. Y dijo Saul a David: Con la otra serás mi yerno hoy.
22 And Saul commanded his servants, Speak to David secretly, saying, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee; and now thou must become the king's son-in-law.
Y Saul mandó a sus criados: Hablád en secreto a David, diciéndole: He aquí, el rey te ama, y todos sus criados te quieren bien, sé pues yerno del rey.
23 And the servants of Saul spoke in the ears of David these words. And David said, Doth it seem so light in your eyes to become the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and of light esteem?
Y los criados de Saul hablaron estas palabras a los oídos de David: y David dijo: ¿Pareceos a vosotros que es poco ser yerno del rey, siendo yo un hombre pobre y de ninguna estima?
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, Words such as these David hath spoken.
Y los criados de Saul le dieron la respuesta, diciendo: Tales palabras ha dicho David.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged on the king's enemies. But Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Y Saul dijo: Decíd así a David: No está el contentamiento del rey en el dote, sino en cien prepucios de Filisteos, para que sea tomada venganza de los enemigos del rey. Mas Saul pensaba echar a David en las manos de los Filisteos.
26 And when his servants told David these words, the thing was pleasing in the eyes of David to become the king's son-in-law: and the days were not complete,
Y como sus criados declararon a David estas palabras, plugo la cosa en los ojos de David, de ser yerno del rey. Y el plazo no era aun cumplido.
27 When David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they counted them out in full to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for wife.
Y David se levantó y partióse con sus varones, e hirió doscientos hombres de los Filisteos, y David trajo los prepucios de ellos, y entregáronlos todos al rey, para que él fuese hecho yerno del rey: y Saul le dio a su hija Micol por mujer.
28 And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David: and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
Y Saul viendo y considerando que Jehová era con David, y que su hija Micol le amaba,
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy all the time.
Temióse más Saul de David, y fue Saul enemigo de David todos los días.
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David was more successful than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly prized.
Y salían los príncipes de los Filisteos; y como ellos salían, David se conducía más prudentemente que todos los siervos de Saul: y su nombre era muy ilustre.
